I've been working on some cgi functions for busybox ash that are also compatible with busybox httpd... not ready for users, but may be of use to bash/html coders for creating simple dynamic pages. The whole thing with kernel should fit on a floppy._________________Web Programming - Pet Packaging 100 & 101

Very nice distribution Catdude. This seems to be the perfect solution for me to change a thin client (HP Compaq T5000) into a webserver. I'm able to boot Webserver Puppy (webserverpuppyx1.iso) from a USB-drive and so far everything looks quite OK, exept for the internet connection. I tried several settings (dynamic & static IP's) using the wizard to connect (on different pc's) to the www. I didn't get connection errors, but I couldn't browse the internet with Seamonkey or ping webpages from the terminal.

Does someone have a clue? Do I miss something setting up the internetconnection? I really think this webserver edition is awesome and perfectly 'intended' for my 733Mhz / 128Mb DDR RAM thin client.

As to the problem with your connection,
i suggest you start a new thread and provide as much information as possible regarding your hardware.

OK. That's obvious. But before losing too much time on my hardware, I tried to create a full install of Puppy 5.2.5 in combination with XAMPP 1.7.4 on a USB-stick. Exept for some memory issues, this finally worked out for me.

But I still think webserverpuppy would have been nice to have a lightweight linux-solution on a thin client. _________________The tighter you squeeze, the less you have. (Thomas Merton)

Dear,
I'm new to puppylinux, so I've a bit problems to understand the used configuration and specific: how to add/start a script after starting X-server.

I use (play ) with this webserver 4.12, installed it on a Thinclient with CF-Card, added ssh, xauth and x11vnc to it. Session will be saved not to xxxsave_pup, but the other method (I forgot the name yet).

x11vnc needs a started X for running on; and thats my problem. Where should I add this start procedure? I won't start this manually (e.g. after power cut, etc. ); it should be started singly after X-server.

I tried to add the line (x11vnc -rfbauth xxxx -forever -bg) in .xinitrc, but nothing happens. What I'm doing wrong?

well, I found it. I got the right tip in german forum. The directory /root/Startup was not there and I found howto "delay" starting of x11vnc-server...

@Antonio66, glad you found this. Thanks for letting us know.

Even though you are new to Puppyland you can do most here a BIG favor by opening a Thread in HOWTO section and describing what distro and how you were able to setup your VNC server for remote desktop serving.

Also Puppy has at its base core design, root user. The official versions are NOT intended to be a multi-user desktop system.

So, I have one question for you. If you glean what I have shared in the prior paragraph, would you consider another lower resource but easier to setup "desktop server".....XRDP. You and others may find this a better fit, for, YOU DON'T HAVE TO INSTALL ANYTHING ON A WINDOWS OR A LINUX PC to remotely login to Puppy which has XRDP..

Hope this helps_________________Get ACTIVE Create Circles; Do those good things which benefit people's needs!
